Chapter 3: Fasting and meditation
Fasting for three days, eating only vegetarian food every day, not eating meat, not eating onions, garlic, leeks and ginger, and not going out to play and play, this may be unbearable for the active little Qin Di, but for the old Qin Di at this time, it is a small meaning.

Before the crossing, Lao Qin Di steaked and roasted duck every day, and even ate very few vegetables, so he was really tired of eating!
It just so happens that this time I can eat vegetarian food and fast for three days, and I can also clear my mind and calm my nerves, and think about how I should live in the future.
From this day on, Qin Di sat quietly in the bedroom, and the door did not come out, and the second door could not be reached. Even the food was sent by the servant.
No one outside came to disturb them.
Because Qin Di was already fourteen years old at this time.
According to the rules of the old Qin family, at the age of twelve, he moved out of the inner house, and returned to the inner house every night on a full moon day to ask for peace. Usually he has his own small yard. The courtyard was not large, only seven or eight tiled houses, and besides him there was a servant, a servant, and a servant, and a strong servant. The servant is responsible for accompanying the trip, the maid is responsible for daily life, the servant is responsible for cooking and the hygiene of the small courtyard, and the strong servant is responsible for the physical work inside and out.
The little guy is called Qin Shi, and the three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren are all sons of the Qin family, although he is only thirteen years old this year, he is two inches taller than Qin Di. The shoulders are broad and the body is long, the bones are large, but the person is very thin. At first glance, he was a man, but when he looked closely, he was still a simple young man. Simple-minded, very obedient, and let him do whatever he wants.
The maid is also a child of the family, called Qin Xiaoyu, a few months younger than Qin Di, with a beautiful appearance, fair complexion, moderate figure, goose egg face, two curved thin eyebrows, eyes are very bright, have read books, read words, do not look like a maidservant, like a small jasper.
Qin Di knew that this first handmaiden was cultivated according to the people in the house. However, according to the rules of the Qin family, those who are not over the age of 16 are not allowed to have sex together, otherwise they will be killed! Not only will the maid be killed, but the young master of the Qin family who is being served will also have a broken leg! This point has been repeatedly ordered from the day every young master of the Qin Mansion moves out of the inner house, so few people dare to violate the ban.
The servant woman is called Hu Ma, forty or fifty years old, originally a cook in a restaurant, and she is a good cook.
The strong servant's name is Hu San, twenty-seven or eight-year-old, five big and three thick, and he is the son of Hu Ma.
These two people were hired from outside, and they said that after ten years of work, they could change their surnames to Qin and enjoy the treatment of the Qin family's internal servants. The two agreed, grateful.
On this day, as soon as he returned home from the school, Qin Di instructed everyone: "I want to fast, don't come up with meat!
Hearing this, the little maid Qin Shi grinned outside, and the maid Qin Xiaoyu smiled bitterly in the house. I thought to myself: "This nineteen masters are crazy again! When he says this, he will change his mind when it is time to eat!"
But I can't help but listen to this.
So Qin Xiaoyu instructed Mama Hu to just make materials, prepare carefully, and not break the vows. However, she was thinking in her heart: "I don't know if the young master can survive for a day?" ”
That night, Qin Di ate fasting, sat on the futon, calmed his mind and did not think about it.
He remembered the meditation of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism that he had read before, and finally chose the seven-branch sitting method, with his feet crossed, his spine straight, his hands knotted in front of his abdomen, his eyes slightly open, and his tongue against the palate.
It was still a little difficult to sit at first, but gradually I gradually got used to it, and I sat quietly for a long time, and unconsciously there was a white light in front of me, reaching the realm of white in the void, the two souls were perfectly fused, and the three souls and seven spirits were solidified and compact, twice as solid as before. And he felt a slight heat in his lower abdomen and navel, and his whole body was very comfortable.
Speaking of which, Lao Qin used to practice qigong, and when he caught up with the qigong fever of the year, he went to the library to read the "Dao Collection", read the secrets left by Wang Chongyang, Zhang Sanfeng, Lu Dongbin, and Liu Huayang, and practiced it, did not sleep in the middle of the night, practiced Taoist qigong, and once reached the level of dantian fever and hand and foot fever, but later it was abandoned for various reasons. There were no other miracles other than seldom sickness.
This time, he didn't have any immortal classics at hand, so he had to take the messy classics of his previous life to test, he thought to himself: "A dead horse should be a live horse doctor, anyway, I can't find an immortal book for a while." It's just practising and having fun, so it shouldn't hurt much. ”
Before the crossing, he had stopped cultivating for more than 20 years, eating nonsense every day, drinking and smoking, and living without knowing moderation, and he had long since exhausted all his veins, not to mention the feeling of fever in his dantian.
I didn't expect to travel through the other world, just meditated for a few hours, and the feeling of being young came back!
At this time, he had to sigh at the young body in front of him, young is good!
At the same time, he also felt that after meditating, his eyes were clear, his soul was firm, his body was extremely comfortable, and he had a sense of fluttering immortals, which he could not enjoy before crossing over.
He thought to himself, "Maybe there is really a fairy spirit here? Maybe there will be a chance to practice the immortal method! This is really good!"
Under the concerned gaze of the servant Qin Xiaoyu, in the hesitant waiting of the little servant Qin Shihu, it was easy to relax and sit quietly for three days, and this morning, when Qin Di opened his eyes, he felt that the world was incomparably peaceful and colorful, as if three days had increased his strength by three hundred years. However, the outstretched arm kick did not increase much in strength.
He knew that this was just a fusion of the depths of the soul, an improvement of the spiritual realm. It seems to be related to cultivation, but it is not really immortal cultivation. Cultivating immortals requires immortal methods, the classics of the previous life are just words for him, not a serious practice under the guidance of the teacher, and after so many years, the classics that he once read have become fragmented, and these classics can only be flashed in the present life, and cannot guide him to a higher realm.
"Young master, it's time for breakfast!" the maidservant Qin Xiaoyu called softly at the door.
"Okay! here we are!" Qin Di agreed and stood up.
Today is the day to go out, the first time to fast seriously to welcome the Peach Blossom Festival, I don't know what will happen, I must maintain enough physical strength.
Eat breakfast, take a bath and change clothes, put on new clothes, and comb your hair bun with the help of Qin Yu, cleaning up inside and out. Qin Di felt that this was much more serious than when he defended his doctorate!
When everything was ready, I heard someone outside shouting: "Nineteen Lang, it's not too early, it's time to go!"
Qin Di walked out of the small courtyard and saw a clean carriage parked at the door.
Raise your legs to get on the car and enter the carriage, there are already a few children and nephews waiting there in the car, and they salute when they meet: "Hello Uncle Nineteen!"
Qin Di nodded: "Okay!" Then sit down, turn your head to look out the window, and say nothing.
Seeing this uncle who has not opened the soul after six or seven flower appreciations, the nephews of the young secretly grinned, and the older ones sat down with their heads down and did not dare to speak. After all, the Qin family is a scholarly family, and this rule is still required.
